May 21st 2022 I fished the Elite Kayak Fishing and KBF tournament. I did not realize they were full on spawn at this time. I was fishing humps with a small white spark shad on a small jighead slow rolling it across the humps. After a little while the bite died down so I picked up a megabass jerk bait and they ate it up. I caught multiple 3 pound smallmouth and had 90" by 9am. You can see the full video on my youtube channel Jake_Stem_Fishing

May 20th I headed out on the lake for a practice day for the upcoming tournament for KBF and EKF the following 2 days. This was my first time on this body of water and heard there could be some spawning smallmouth. Between the clouds, wind, and forgetting my sunglasses it was very hard to see any beds deeper than 3 foot. I still covered 14 miles of water searching for beds mostly but also trying some deeper areas. Only finding 2 locked bed fish and one random fish it was a tough day. But the ones I did catch were on the STIX rods number 1 finesse stix. Using a Rabid Baits darter paired with a drop zone tackle rattling drop shot weight. It worked great! You can watch my entire day on youtube at Jake_Stem_Fishing.
